Not sure what happened. Ordered a beer and then a few minutes later 80% of the bar just left… I thought I was being punked.

Ding Dong Lounge is an institution in New York and Melbourne, a place where people who go to New York come back with great stories about. Ding Dong in Auckland is definitely not such a beast. The reasons why become obvious when you see who runs it — the guy behind forte and deschlers, and some guy who is friends with Franko. Speaking of Franko, he dj’s here. So that should give you an idea of what the place is like. It’s full of 80’s throwback guys — long hair, tight leather pants, drinking expensive foreign brews and listening to Poison. I’m sure there is a target market that would love the place — but I definitely am not in it.
